I'm getting real close now and was wondering if it would be more cost effective to buy an aftermarket head or just have the factory head worked over. I'm not going with a big cube motor. Stock stroke and .125 overbore gas pistons. Is an $1800 head going to make more power than a reworked factory head on a small cube motor? [Reply]   [No Email]

Also, like to get josh"s number to see about carb work. [Reply]  [No Email]

My e mail is always open so let me know how it works out for you. When you say that you shaved the factory head and "it didn't work", what do you mean? Not the compression gains that you had hoped for? [Reply]  [No Email]

Your head with 600 put in it will flow all the air you need. Put the other 1200 into a big journal 9 inch crank [Reply]  [No Email]
